Fools!

Its not the food! If these kid would go out and play, run around, and get some exercise there would be no problem. The government will not and can not fix this problem. The onus is on the parents to make their kids go out and play instead of sitting their fat asses on the couch and play games or text on the phone. This is clearly not a case of you are what you eat. I can't tell you the last time I saw kids having a pick up football game in the street or kick the can or dodge ball etc... Take away the computer and phone and make them get out and get exercise.

SIMPLE SOLUTION

One does NOT have to go with 'school lunches" one can BROWN BAG IT. I did that when I was going to school, saved the money to buy other things I needed or wanted. I survived just fine on home lunches, RARELY did I par take of the school cusine of "mystery meat" and other unknown edibles.
